17 Months

 Isn't he so smart, he is already writing his name, in block letters nonetheless!! We always knew we would have a genius child I mean look at both of our ACT scores;)

Gus is 17 months. 

His usual words are truck, car, stuck, es (friends), ball, chs (chickens), hot, no, yes, please, treats. He loves the great outdoors you can tell by how blonde his hair is getting and his tan lines. He loves chasing the poor chickens around and around their coup. He is starting to play with his dump trucks in the dirt and riding them. He LOVES playing with friends, he will look out our front window and say es(friends). He is throwing more and more tantrums everyday. He has learned how to pull my hair and hit me which is my least favorite thing (how they learn this I don't know). His most favorite thing is to play in Kyle's truck or my car, he literally spends a good hour turning every knob and eating all of the gum he can find. He goes to bed around 9 and wakes up at 9. He takes one nap a day at 2 and it lasts 2 hours. He has almost all of his teeth for his age, his bottom k9's are popping through as I type this. The k9's are the worst I have decided. He fights going to bed, but once I lay him down he cries for 1 minute then is quiet. He helps me garden, put the laundry in the washer and dryer, pick up his toys, and put the chickens away. He loves shoes and sunglasses. His favorite food is edamame and oatmeal with cinnamon sugar. I have always thought I would love the newborn stage the most, but as he gets older the more fun I find myself having. He makes me laugh everyday, by the things he says or does. Church is very difficult right now. I attribute it to the 1pm start time, lets just say he is a handful!! 2 more weeks until nursery!!!!! He is all boy and goes goes goes.
